Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show.

We'll get you from point A to point B.

But if you're looking for point C, well, buddy, you're on your own.

But if you'll wait right here

in just about the two minutes, the bus to point C will be coming right by. And now here's

your Ralph Cramden of the airways, Eric Matt, Texas. Hey there, folks, praise the Lord. We praise the Lord in all circumstances. Hey, if you're not a Christian,

if that sounds foreign to you, don't worry about it. You can praise the Lord anyway. All that is good

in the universe, all that is beautiful and true, just think about that. I mean, if you don't,

if you don't call that Jesus or God, that's, that's okay. If you just think about what is good and innocent and beautiful and

true and what a wonderful concept that is. What a beautiful idea that that's real. And is real um we praise that and for me i know who

that is it's a capital w uh and and and and and the the the bible tells us to praise god

in all circumstances which means even when things are horrible why would it say in all circumstances

it wouldn't be that all circumstances except when things are horrible, why would it say in all circumstances,

it wouldn't be let all circumstances except when things are really bad? No, precisely when things are really, really bad, when the worst thing has happened, we praise God. Now, I know that's

incomprehensible to some people. We may not get into that right now. But obviously the subtext of

everything that I or almost anyone is saying

these days is the murder of my friend Charlie Kirk. And I have so many thoughts on that. I want to

share some of them with you today. Later today, I believe I will be speaking with Lucas Miles, pastor Lucas Miles. He's a friend of

mine. He heads up T-P-U-S-A faith. So he was very close with Charlie. So later in the show,

we'll be talking to Lucas.

This week, we have a lot of special guests this week.

I'll be speaking to Victor Davis Hanson.
